Gore never claimed to have invented the internet, nor did he ever try to imply that he did. Vint Cerf and Robert E. Kahn have defended Gore's actual statements:
In response to this controversy, Internet pioneers Vint Cerf and Robert E. Kahn, wrote an e-mail dated 2000-09-28, that stated:
As the two people who designed the basic architecture and the core protocols that make the Internet work, we would like to acknowledge VP Gore's contributions as a Congressman, Senator and as Vice President. No other elected official, to our knowledge, has made a greater contribution over a longer period of time.
Last year the Vice President made a straightforward statement on his role. He said: "During my service in the United States Congress I took the initiative in creating the Internet." We don't think, as some people have argued, that Gore intended to claim he "invented" the Internet. Moreover, there is no question in our minds that while serving as Senator, Gore's initiatives had a significant and beneficial effect on the still-evolving Internet. The fact of the matter is that Gore was talking about and promoting the Internet long before most people were listening. We feel it is timely to offer our perspective
As for the rigging of the election....
It was not "rigged" so much as it was intentionally and illegally obfuscated. The 2000 election was a farce and a slap in the face to Democracy. It's not even a question of who won, because that was made irrelevant when the Supreme Court declared Bush president.
if there was voter fraud thats fine it kept gore outta the white house
You should be shot for treason. That's not the way our system works. Regardless if you're on the "right side of the aisle" or not, you should be ashamed that you would support abuse of your rights just so the outcome would favor "your guy." Oh... wait... I forgot... you're a "wrestler."
But, gee... I sure can agree with you that having a president who supports the use of torture, claims that the constitution is irrelevant, signs every bill with the caveat that it does not apply to him and he can not be held accountable by it, dodged the draft by entering the TANG and apparently did not show up for a large part of his service, sits and reads children's books while our nation is under attack, associates with criminals, supports constitutional bans based on "moral" behavior, creates a $400 billion (almost 500 now) deficit, starts a war with a country complying with US and UN demands, becomes so entrenched in that war that the a real threat of war from countries like Iran and N. Korea could actually happen, opposes freedom of the press, believes that suspending our rights for the sake of "security" is fine and dandy, is a known alcoholic, supports invasion of privacy, is convinced that being "true to your convictions" means being unbending even when your tactics are not working, does not fulfill promises to victims and families killed in the biggest terrorist attack ever, cuts funding for medical care for vets, cuts the salaries of the very soldiers who are risking their lives for his insanity and his VP's corporate buddies, and suspends habeas corpus...
Is a hell of a lot better than having a president who helped create the largest federal *surplus* ever, supports the Kyoto Protocol, values human rights as the highest of values, *volunteered* for the Army during the Vietnam War, created the National Performance Review, and created the lowest income tax burden to the 35 years prior (and since).
Yeah. Thank Gee Oh Dee we have Bush in office.
Before you make more "political" statements, can i recommend that you finish High School, or that you at least read up on
attentional bias. Although, I'm certain that any one who still supports Bush either has some kind of potential financial gain from doing so, or is just absolutely politically and globally ignorant.
